Causes of the Revolt (1857)
Due
to the dis-satisfaction with the policies of the Britishers the Indians revolted
against them in 1857 which took an explosive form.
Political Injustice:
After the death of Gangadhar Rao, Dalhousie rejected the right of his
adopted son to the thrown and annexed the territory of Jhansi ….
Economic
exploitation: The policies adopted
by the British Government in the fields of agriculture, industry and trade, all
the classes of the Indian society was ruined.
The landlords became landless and the farmers became dept tors to the
money-lenders.
Religious and Social Causes: Many people feared that the English were deliberately forcing Indians to accept Christianity. The social customs of Indians were often neglected in army, prisons and railways. Syed Ahmed Khan considered these activities as an important factor of the revolt.
